As with mp3s, divxs just persuade people to buy videos they wouldn't otherwise buy. When the industry is actually going to realise they're gaining sales through this rather than losing them is anybody's guess though!
" they need to get a few of them off the
road and into my office building, reception's awful
in there." - Do you have a lot of computers? an air conditioning unit? - even just steel girders in the building can lead to poor reception.
What I wondered about reading your post was why it only went half-way across the screen. Do you know you don't need to insert break tags because slashdot automatically word wraps posts?
Even students need to keep track of money to make sure they don't fall too deep into debt.
Isn't that that film...

that's historically inaccurate, was released ages ago and is yet another film where the Americans solely win World War II without any help from anybody?
For Sale: Mir Space Station
Slightly burnt due to re-entry but still salvageable at the bottom of the ocean. Slightly fire damaged. Buyer pays postage and launch costs. Be the envy of the world - own a second-hand space station today! Starting price: 1 rouble.
Hollywood thinks they can buy senators and get laws changed so they can make more profits. George Lucas's films make a profit before they're released because of merchandising deals - the same was true of Harry Potter & The Lord of the The Rings (Part 1)
That's got to be the worst joke ever! You could have at least pointed to a never ending link to this page or a picture of the Funhouse hall of mirrors.
Mathematics and all the sciences you mentioned only produce models which don't always tally with reality. Take the weather forecast - that's based on a model and the model isn't always right!
Places have been selling mods for these games (I presume without permission from the publishers) for ages. Does that mean they're all in breach of the EULA? If so why haven't the publishers concerned sued them? Or does it all go back to whether a EULA is legally binding or not?
The predictions were made based on current technology. The first predictions were made on the basis that you were using a visible wavelength of light which put a limit on the track size. Then they moved to using X-rays which led to a smaller track size. It's like the estimates for how much oil we have left - they keep increasing because they either find more, or work out ways to drill deeper, extract current deposits more efficiently etc.
I'm in the U.K. Apparently it went on general release today (all films in the U.K. sem to be released on a Friday). They must have been expecting a lot of word of mouth publicity though - as I haven't seen one trailer for it & didn't release it had been released until I talked to my younger brother.
"Christ, is that _still_ on?" - it's comments and attitudes like that that led to the falling viewing figures that led to its demise. It hasn't been the same since David Duchovny started appearing for about thirty seconds in each episode though. However good Scully and the actor who played T-3000 in Terminator 2 are - it just isn't the same.
I think they should just develop voice recognition for phones and do away with the keypad for SMS messages. Then again phones already work on a voice recognition basis - it's called calling someone!

I did but you beat me to it - it should've read major media companies
It got modded down anyway - so someone out there agrees with you (unless it was you doing the moderating).
On that website you link to - what does the squashed up intelligible bold text say?
Depends what flavour of geek you are as to what you prefer.
I wouldn't say tht 15Mb (unpacked) is that big for a package these days.

The link gives a list of the committees and sub-committees he's on, also contact details, a photo and a short biography.
Looks like Senator Hollings (Disney) triumphs in crushing free speech and criticism of his bill again!

Yes, no scientist accepts results until they've been verified by another group.

Hey I just bought a brand new Commodore 64 yesterday. Now they say tape drives are out and the new fashion is for 5 1/4" disk drives!
Are those articles on the web? If so, would it be possible to hyperlink to them?

What's the matter - haven't got a flash plugin for your browser?
